Genus of viruses
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brevipenbrevirus is a genus of viruses in subfamily Penbrevirinae of the family Parvoviridae. Mosquitoes serve as natural hosts. There are four species in this genus.[1][2]

Structure
Life cycle
Viral replication is nuclear. Entry into the host cell is achieved by attachment to host receptors, which mediates clathrin-mediated endocytosis. Replication follows the rolling-hairpin model. DNA-templated transcription, with some alternative splicing mechanism is the method of transcription. Mosquitoes serve as the natural host.[1][4]
